Saigon's tallest building: Bitexco Financial Tower

Vietnamese skyscrapers

The skyscraper Bitexco Financial Tower with its 262 meters is the tallest building of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and the second tallest tower all over Vietnam, only beaten by Keangnam Landmark Tower in Hanoi with a height of 336 meters.

During the year 2010, Bitexco Financial Tower had the honor of being Vietnam ceiling, but that period of time was very short because in 2011 Keangnam Landmark Tower in Hanoi, conquered that title.

In Vietnam this building is also known as Lotus building, due to its design, inspired by a lotus flower, a symbol for Vietnam. However, it has some resemblance with Burj al Arab in Dubai, I guess because of the heliport on one of the sides of the building instead of on the top of the skyscraper.

Luxury cars in Vietnam

Motor: high end cars in Vietnam

I'm always amazed when I see a car, which base price exceed by far thousand of dollars, on the streets of Vietnam. As a note we will say that a car in Vietnam has to pay the so-called import tax, increasing the final price of the vehicle so that a car in Vietnam costs twice as in Europe. Nevertheless, the high price of a high end car doesn't mean we can't see Luxury cars in Vietnam.

We are not talking about the average Mercedes or a BMW... we are talking about Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and above all Bentley.
